What do you like most about working at DriveTime? The relationships I have built with both my coworkers and our employees. We are a very collaborative environment and I always feel that I can go to anyone with a question. There is a great work-life balance, and I truly believe that the company cares about my well-being.

What do you like to do outside of work? I love to spend time outside, and I try to hike and run as often as possible. Spending time with family and friends is my favorite thing to do.

If you truly love what you do every day, then your "job" is not a job ! Having a career with DriveTime is the most rewarding and fulfilling opportunity I have ever had. Being able to work amongst co-workers and leaders who are there to help make sure you are succeeding on a daily basis is the most rewarding aspect of my job. The culture at DriveTime is unlike any other business and it makes you truly appreciate being able to work for such an amazing company with outstanding leaders who are there to get you where you want to be!

Outside of work, I tend to keep busy with quite a few activities. I love to go to flea markets on weekends, where I find and then refurbish old furniture! I also love to golf as it’s something I've been doing since I was little. Going out and enjoying our boat is another fun activity I do. Being from the Midwest originally, I enjoy getting out and exploring what Arizona lakes have to offer!

I like the diversity of our culture at DriveTime. Although we share a common goal to service our customers, we find joy in the challenges of interacting interdepartmentally and constantly learning how our efforts effect each other's results!

I like the career path and coaching I have received while with DriveTime. DriveTime has given me the chance to grow and develop as a leader. Also, the culture of learning and feedback exists at every level of the company so anyone who is looking for a career path can be successful.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family. Golfing, hiking and just being outside as much as possible are just a few of the things we like to do together.

For me, the ability to move into a wide range of areas within the company is the most significant benefit of working at DriveTime. I started as an intern working in our marketing department and then moved into retail when I became a full time employee. Since then it seems that every year or two I move into a different area of the business. Retail operations to IT, our call center, and now back in marketing. This was a perfect place for me since I didn’t have my mind set on what I wanted to do for a career.

Outside of work, I like great food, classic cars, golfing and the occasional kayak trip. But mostly, I’m relaxing at home watching a movie with my wife and dog.

This is the most collaborative and fluid environment I’ve ever worked in. DriveTime is always evolving its applications and systems which gives me an opportunity to evolve with it. I like that every day is different and that our leadership has my back and listens to what I have to say. I go home knowing that I’ve accomplished great things and that what I do makes a difference. I get to be part of a huge family that knows how to have a blast and get things done.

When I’m not working I am either in the studio writing and recording music or studying Japanese. Music is where I get to celebrate my love for videogames, languages, and pop culture all at once. Being on stage is exhilarating and it’s fun to connect with people who appreciate my work. I’ve toured around the country and have also recorded television/radio ad spots for McDonalds.

“Businesses often forget about the culture, and ultimately suffer for it.” –Tony Hsieh This is not the case for DriveTime, they have embodied a culture that allows growth for the company as well as the individual. All employees are given access to the resources they need to succeed. With an open door atmosphere, decisions are made by a group approach in which everyone’s opinions are valued.

Outside of work I like to remain active with my social circles, in the gym, play video games and spend time with family. The more time spent out in the Arizona sun hiking or in the pool, the better.

I enjoy the people at DriveTime most of all.

Oustide of work I spend time with the family, Fishing, Biking and Golfing.

I love the fact that I am able to provide relief and a solution for consumers who need a vehicle. There is nothing like putting a smile on someone's face by providing reliable transportation for their families. It is rewarding to be able to help people while having a great time doing it!

When I am not working I enjoy quality time with my family, relaxing at the beach, hitting the gym and traveling.

DriveTime emphasizes on transparency and dedication. The individuals that I work with on a daily basis make the job even more enjoyable with the amount of passion and intellectual ability they bring into the office every day. Everyone is always willing to help and the Liberty Home Office is beautiful. Having the ability to impact individuals on a mass scale is amazing and working for DriveTime is everything you could wish for and more!

When I am not working I enjoy playing basketball, snowboarding, hiking and lifting. Also, I love modeling, dancing, trying out new restaurants and helping others. My goal is to impact as many people in my life as possible and be the best version of myself.

DriveTime’s culture encourages you to grow and challenge yourself. I started as an Intern in HR almost five years ago. I never would have expected that someday I’d be analyzing IT software solutions—but here I am, loving it! Amazing mentors have supported me in each direction my career has taken here and I’m lucky to have a group of colleagues that feels like family. I am passionate about what I do. It’s a bonus to work with such vibrant, fun, brilliant people every day.

I venture outdoors in my free time to take advantage of all this sunshine. I like to go hiking, running and road triping on long weekends. Baseball games out here are a must for me too. Cooking and sketching are my creative outlets of choice. I also hang out with my wonderful, fluffy German Shepherd mix whenever I can.

I really like the fact that the leadership team is truly invested and genuinely interested in their team’s growth and development. As a product of several growth opportunities, I have had the pleasure of working alongside some of the strongest leaders. They have given me guidance, feedback and training opportunities for me to learn and grow in my professional career.

When I am not connecting with future employees of DriveTime, you can usually find me in the kitchen whipping up a recipe from Pinterest, the newest cookbook or one of my mom’s Filipino dishes!

I love the engagement and interaction with my fellow employees. We rely on each other to accomplish the goal of providing the best possible product for our customers.

Outside of work I try to stay busy. I enjoy music, reading and playing baseball. My favorite activity is being outdoors finding an adventure with my kids!

The best part about working for Drivetime is the people. We only hire energetic, motivated, good natured people who are interested in helping each other and our community. The people make this company what it is, and the culture within is what keeps the engine moving forward and keeps DriveTime leaders within our industry. It’s great to work at a place where employee retention is a major focus and you can see people that have been here for over 10 years.

Outside of work I enjoy music. I enjoy producing music as well as listening and collecting music. I own over 5000 pieces of vinyl and so many cds it would take a full day to count. Of course in this new age of technology I just had to upgrade to a 3 tetrabyte hard drive to hold more music. A fun day for me outside of work includes going into the studio with new artists and assisting in the creation of new music. I also enjoy assisting in getting the music from the studio to the radio.

What I enjoy most about DriveTime is the fun and welcoming culture they have to offer. Every day you are greeted by co-workers with a welcoming presence making it extremely enjoyable to come to work. My departments managers are incredible and extremely helpful if any questions do arise along the way. DriveTime’s internship program is a hands-on experience that will benefit anyone greatly as they further their knowledge and career.

Outside of work I enjoy exercising, hiking, and going to the lake. Anything that involves sports or high energy activities is something I really like to be involved in. I also enjoy hanging out with friends and meeting new people whenever I have the opportunity.
